Patient Airlifted to Rotorua Hospital

Patient Airlifted to Rotorua Hospital

The Rotorua based BayTrust Rescue helicopter was dispatched to SH5 Reporoa, following a car accident involving 9 people. The accident occurred at 1630 when a Van collided with a Milk Tanker. The Bay Trust Rescue Helicopter airlifted a 16yr old male to Rotorua Hospital with head and shoulder injuries. The Helicopter was used due to the time critical nature of the injuries sustained in the accident.

Philips Search and Rescue Trust is a charitable organisation, operating rescue helicopters throughout the Central North Island. Philips Search and Rescue Trust relies on support from principal sponsors and community donations. Special thanks to Rotorua's principal sponsor, BayTrust. This crucial financial support ensures our rescue helicopters can continue to bring life-saving equipment, rescue personnel and trauma-trained medics directly to the patient.
